Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday.  Are you starting to make plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be at work all day Saturday and then we have out quarterly team meeting in person on Sunday. I love those meetings; we get to stamp together and chat for a bit and of course laugh.

Today’s card I was planning on doing on my live on Wednesday afternoon, but my contractor had other plans. After waiting 5 months for him to come replace doors in my craft studio and around the house, he thought Wednesday was the perfect day.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made today’s card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s My card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set along with the Meadow Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stargazing Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then cut the leaf die from the Meadow Dies from the center of the Basic White panel. Using my Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker, I flicked specks on the die cut panel.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the left front of a Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to the DSP card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the die cut leaf to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a bow using the Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the leaf stem using a Glue Dot. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Pearls to the card front.

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the right front of the Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink 2 times on the bottom of the panel, stamping off twice on scrap paper before stamping on the panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on the side of the panel. I blended the flowers using a Blender Pen to spread the color a little. I flicked a little ink using my Starry Sky Stamp’ Write Marker. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Starry Sky mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the script image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front in Starry Sky Ink twice, stamping off on scrap paper twice before stamping on the envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Starry Sky Ink over the script image. I blended the flowers using my Blender Pen. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow CAS

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends Happy November!!! Are you ready for a new month? I am and I’m just about ready for tomorrow to get here. I leave my house around 4:30am to catch a flight to our retreat in GA. I’m so looking forward to going and getting to spend some time with team members and crafting for the entire weekend. I don’t have to do anything but relax and enjoy myself. We get all our meals prepared for us, and they are delicious. I missed a lot of them last year when I went because I spent most of the time sleeping and being sick. Not this year, I’m going to make up for last year.

I have a quick and easy card for you today that is also Clean and Simple. With all the running around and working I’ve been doing the past few days, I needed something quick and easy. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set and Meadow dies for my card today.

I joined in with Just Us Girls Challenge #703 CAS Week.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Blending Brush and adding Bubble Bath Ink to the center of a Basic White card front. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the blended color. I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamps set in Crumb cake Ink next to the flower image. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamps et in Bubble Bath Ink around the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a small panel of Bubble Bath I cut the small butterfly using the Meadow Dies. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimsnsionals.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow CAS 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White. I added some Bubble Bath Ink on the bottom of the panel using the Blending Brush. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink over the blended color. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the flower image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using the Blending Brush, I added some Bubble Bath Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink Over the blended area and on the envelope flap. I stamped the splotch image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink around the flower image on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Did you all remember to set your clocks back last night before going to bed? I was up and out of bed by 5am this morning (a day I could have slept in a bit) because I thought it was 6am. I have the day off today, so I’m really hoping to get to some serious card making today. I do have a team meeting this afternoon, so I’ll get to see my team members virtually.

I made a quick birthday card today with a set from the Annual Catalog. Sometimes we get so hung up on the current mini catalog we forget about the awesome sets in the Annual Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set along with the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by partially coloring a panel of Abigail Rose DSP using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the panel into 1 1 /8″ strips and adhered them to a Crumb Cake mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentient out using the frame die from the Meadow Dies. I threaded a piece of Sweet Sorbet 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon through the frame and wrapped it around the card front. I tied a bow on the side of the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the card front to an Early Espresso card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems using the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered them to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the rose using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf from the Cottage Rose stamp set image around the rose in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the rose image from the Cottage Rose stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the rose using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the leaf image around the rose in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of Abigail Rose DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow part 2

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the long holiday weekend, if you live in the US. This weekend is usually the close to the summer even though there’s 3 weeks left. I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend even if it’s to just take the day off and relax. We had a wonderful time yesterday at the Sunflower maze. Thousands of sunflowers and 2 mazes of them to walk through.. I’ll share some pictures shortly with you. I was even able to bring a few home with me along with a bag full of seeds that I can plant next summer and the following one. I can’t wait to see my own growing.

Today’s card is the 2nd part to the card I showed on Wednesday. You can see that card Here. The card from Wednesday and today’s shows how to used both the positive and negative of a die cut. This is another card we’ll be making at my class on Tuesday night. Here’s my card.

I used the Stampin Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by randomly stamping the type image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Cinnamon Cider card front. I adhered the card front to a petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I had the leaf die cut that I cut our for Wednesday’s card still. From a panel of Basic White cardstock I cut 2 of the dies from the Meadow Dies. I adhered the 3 die cut pieces to the Cinnamon Cider card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small piece of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I threaded a piece of Linen Thread through the sentiment tag and tied a bow. I adhered the sentiment to the bouquet using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping off once, on the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the typed image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink along the bottom of the envelope. I adhered a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. How are you all doing today? Hope your week has started out to be a productive one. I normally have Tuesday’s off, but today is the last day of the month so that means I have to go in. First I have to take my son for a follow up appointment for his broken leg. Fingers crossed that he can come off his crutches that he’s been on since June 10th. It’s been a long summer of transporting him around and it’s still going to be a while before he can drive.

I have a card class coming up next week, so I have to start designing cards for it. That’s the hardest part of having classes, coming up with new ideas. Luckily demonstrators have some resources to find new ideas. Here’s my card for today that we’ll be making next Tuesday night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink card front to a Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I colored a panel of Basic White cardstock using my Mossy Meadow and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers in the center of the panel. Using my Meadow Dies, I cut the leafy die out of the colored section of the panel.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock I stamped the splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the 2 butterfly dies from the Meadow Dies out of the stamped panel and adhered them to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Meadow Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower images from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cinnamon Cider card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the tiny flower images from the Quiet Moment stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 2020-2022 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Wedding

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. These days are just flying by.

Today’s card I made for someone very special. One of the girls that I used to babysit for many years ago is getting married and her shower is this month. Unfortunately I can’t go, it’s in Tennessee and on the 31st of the month. I only have 2 mandatory days I have to be at work in the office, the last day and the 1st day. I did send a gift to her mother, my friend, for her along with wishing well gifts and this card. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card today along with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper. This paper is one of the beautiful patterns on sale right now for 15% off. The colors I used for my card are actually the brides theme colors, olive and deep burgundy.

I started by adhering a panel of the Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to an Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set. I colored the stamp using my Merry Merlot and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers. I stamped the flower twice full strength and then the center one is stamped off once. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Merry Merlot mat using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essential Pack around the layered panel twice and tied a knot. On a piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink and cut it out using my Meadow Dies. I threaded the sentiment onto the bakers twine and tied a bow. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the half butterfly die from the Meadow Dies twice, once from a piece of White Vellum paper and once from a piece of Gold Glimmer Vellum paper (available in the July-August 2021 Mini Catalog on August 3rd). I adhered the 2 butterflies together at the body using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered them to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Happenings Cling Stamp in Merry Merlot Ink on a Basic White panel. I did this by placing my stamp on the Stamparatus and just inking the 1 sentiment using my Merry Merlot Stampin’ Write Marker and stamping it on the panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the side of the panel, inking it up with my Merry Merlot and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers and stamping off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Can you believe that it’s the last day of April already? Another month that flew by. Does anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ll be working tomorrow in the office for the 1st of the month getting my bills out and I’ll be working all day on Sunday too.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

I started with a Smoky Slate card base and scored it at 4 1/4″ & 2 1/2″. On the front of the card base I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom. I cut from the top of the 4 1/4″ score line to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I made a little mark 1 1/2″ up from the bottom right side. I cut from the top corner to the 1 1/2″ mark on an angle. I cut the Basic White panel in half at 2″.

On the taller piece of the Basic White cardstock I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On the smaller panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the smallest tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I stamped the stem and leaf images from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the small panel to the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a butterfly from a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock using the new Meadow Dies (available May 4th) and adhered it to the small panel, hanging off, using Glue Dots.

On the inside panel I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink twice on the right side of the panel. I stamped the stem and leaf images in Granny Apple Green Ink. On the scrap piece of Basic White cardstock I had cut off the panel, I stamped the large tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Highland Heather Ink and punched it out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I stamp the leaf image a couple times in Granny Apple Green Ink on the same panel and punched them out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I adhered the large tulip to the stamped stem using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a couple of the leaves to the stamped stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the Basic White panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Stampin’ Seal. I cut the smaller butterfly from the Meadow Dies from a scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered it to the Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I added a few Opal Rounds by the tulips.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the medium tulip from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the envelope front and the small tulip in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the stems and leaves in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of the Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

There’s no “batter” way to root, root, root for your home team and honor the all-stars in your life!

A beloved baseball-themed kit would be incomplete without the sport’s signature, sticky snack—the official bubble gum of the MLB! A favorite in the field, the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit contains a couple sticks of the chewy staple; chew while you craft, slide a piece into a card, or save it for later.

Send a seventh-inning stretch in a classic card with all-star stripes, a nostalgic nod, and a stamp set fit for an MVP! But, before you give it all you’ve got, give this month’s promotional video a watch. See what the Batter Up! kit is all about! Play ball!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Sneak Peek for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I will not be working this weekend YAY!!! I have a virtual Stampin’ Up! On Tour on Saturday, which is like a mini convention. Sunday we have our team meeting so since it’s in the middle of the afternoon I couldn’t work, so I have the whole weekend off.

Before I get started I just wanted to remind you that my 2021-2022 Annual Catalogs will be in on Monday. If you are a customer of mine, I will be sending one out to you ASAP. If you’d like a copy of the catalog, send me a note at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and I will get one in the mail to you. Also, I am offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. If you are interested or want to know what a product share is, visit my blog from yesterday morning HERE.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Bundle for my card along with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering 4 panels of Pansy Petals DSP to 4 Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panels to the 2 front side panels and the 2 back side panels of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower image from the Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the newspaper print image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink, stamped off once, across the stem of the flower image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal. On a scrap of Pale Papaya cardstock I stamped the newspaper print image in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once. I cut 2 butterflies using my Meadow Dies from the stamped newsprint and 2 from a solid piece. I adhered the printed butterflies on top of the solid butterflies, just on the bodies, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the butterflies to the side panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just on the bottom butterfly. I added a Bumblebee Trinket to the artwork using a Glue Dot.

On the inside (or back), I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in the 2 corners of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers in using my Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the back of the Evening Evergreen card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set twice on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers in using my Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Pansy Petals DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.
